News William Shatner to Appear in Star Trek 3? Original Captain Kirk Responds to Rumors By David Buchan/Getty Images What's the name of that movie, Star Trek 3? Sounds like fun!

William Shatner , who played Captain James T. Kirk in the original '60s series and movies, says J.J. Abrams contacted him about the 2016 film, part of a rebooted big screen series that stars 34-year-old Chris Pine as his character, following recent rumors. Abrams directed the first two new movies in the hit sci-fi franchise and serves as a producer for the third, which is being helmed by Roberto Orci. Abrams has not commented. Speaking to fans at 2014 Wizard World Nashville Comic Con on Friday, Shatner, 83, said that while he was visiting Australia earlier this month, Abrams phoned him from London. He is there filming Star Wars: Episode VII, the first of a planned third trilogy of the rival popular sci-fi franchise. He said Abrams told him Orci "had an idea" about possibly involving him in the third Star Trek film and asked him if he was interested. READ: William Shatner calls J.J. Abrams "a pig" for hogging both Star Trek and Star Wars franchises "I said, 'Oh, yeah.

If it is meaningful, because when Leonard was Spock...in that first movie, I said to Leonard, 'You know your role, when you go back in time and you're still old,'" Shatner said, as seen in a fan-made YouTube video . He is referring to Leonard Nimoy , who played Kirk's right-hand man Mr. Spock in the original series and movies and reprised his role in the first new Star Trek film, which was released in 2009. Shatner said he told Abrams, "So, it depends on what you do with the character, I'd be delighted." He said the producer swore him to secrecy and that he promised him he wouldn't even tell his wife about it. Shatner added that that after he returned from Australia, "it was all over the Internet." On Sept. 22, Badassdigest.com reported that the Star Trek 3 script includes a scene in which Shatner and Nimoy, who is also 83, reprise their roles as Kirk and Spock, who is played by Zachary Quinto , 37, in the new films.

A day later, Shatner responded to the rumors on Twitter , saying, "Nobody has contacted me." As of Sunday, his tweet remained pinned to the top of his page. Let's talk ST. I don't know anything about the current gossip. Nobody has contacted me. Right now it's just rhetoric to cause hype. ? William Shatner (@WilliamShatner) September 23, 2014 Trekmovie.com reported that Orci said in response that day, "Not in my interest to confirm or deny anything because it limits my options while maintaining my integrity as a truth teller. The movie is not the movie till it is in the theater. Until then, everything is a rumor." "They might want Leonard and myself but I don't know what to do with it," Shatner told the fans. "How do you get me 50 years later into the movie? How do you rationalize it? I know it's science fiction, but even I couldn't come up with an idea. So that's the news on that." The original Star Trek series aired from 1966 to 1969 (pictured below: Kirk and Spock in an episode from the latter year).

Shatner and Nimoy last appeared together in character, with other fellow original cast members, in the 1991 movie Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country. CBS via Getty Images Shatner last appeared onscreen as Kirk in the 1994 film Star Trek: Generations, which featured characters from the Star Trek: The Next Generation series, with Patrick Stewart playing Captain Jean-Luc Picard. The two appear in scenes depicting an alternate reality and an epic battle. YouTube In 2011, Orci told The Hollywood Reporter that Shatner was supposed to be featured in the first new Star Trek film. "We wrote a scene for William Shatner at the end of the movie where Spock, played by Leonard, gives his young self, played by Zach Quinto, something he'd kept with him," he said. "And it was basically a recording of Kirk singing 'Happy Birthday' to him for the last time before he went off to die in Star Trek VI. J.J. had determined early on that he felt it might seem like it was, A, too small, and B, pandering to the fans a bit.

But we wrote it anyway because as a fan you're always trying to protect that thing where you want to be able to look fans in the eye and say, 'We were ready.'" At 2014 Wizard World Nashville Comic Con, Shatner recalled how Abrams had talked to him about appearing in the first new Star Trek film. He said he asked him, "And I would play the captain?'" "'No, no, no. Not as Captain Kirk,'" he quoted the director as saying. "'No, No, no, we have a young, handsome guy to do that.'" "But he handed me a script and I read the script and it stunk," Shatner said. "It is like telling somebody, 'You know that little cute baby you got there. It is the ugliest thing I have ever seen!' So I didn't say that to J.J." The screenplay he received, he said, was a fake. "I don't know quite what he was doing. He was assessing whether people were interested in being in the movie and handing them a script that must have been a dummy script because the next script was pretty darn good, the final movie was really good," he said.

Patrick Stewart | Star Trek Movies Wiki | Fandom powered by Wikia Star Trek Movies Wiki Share Sir Patrick Hewes Stewart, OBE (born 13 July 1940) is an English film , television and stage (theatre) actor. He has had a distinguished career in theatre and television for around half a century. He is most widely known for his television and film roles, as Captain Jean-Luc Picard in Star Trek: The Next Generation and as Professor Charles Xavier in the X-Men (film series). Contents Edit Stewart was born in Mirfield near Dewsbury [1] in the West Riding of Yorkshire, England, the son of Gladys ( née Barrowclough), a weaver and textile worker, and Alfred Stewart, a Regimental Sergeant Major in the British Army who served with the King's Own Yorkshire Light Infantry (KOYLI) and previously worked as a general labourer and as a postman. [2] Throughout childhood, he endured poverty and disadvantage, an experience which influenced his later political and ideological beliefs.

[3] In 2006, Stewart made a short video against domestic violence for Amnesty International , in which he recollected his father's physical attacks on his mother and the effect it had on him as a child, and he has given his name to a scholarship at the University of Huddersfield , where he is Chancellor, to fund post-graduate study into domestic violence. [4] [5] His childhood experiences also led him to become the patron of Refuge , a UK charity for abused women. [6] He attended Crowlees C of E Junior and Infants School , [7] and in 1951, aged 11, he entered Mirfield Secondary Modern School, [8] where he continued to study drama. At age 15, Stewart dropped out of school and increased his participation in local theatre. He acquired a job as a newspaper reporter and obituary writer, [9] but after a year, his employer gave him an ultimatum to choose acting or journalism. [10] He quit the job. His brother tells the story that Stewart would attend rehearsals during work time and then invent the stories he reported. Stewart also trained as a boxer.

[9] Career Edit Following a period with the Manchester Library Theatre , he became a member of the Royal Shakespeare Company in 1966, staying with them until 1982. He was as an Associate Artist of the company in 1968. [11] He appeared next to actors such as Ben Kingsley and Ian Richardson. In January 1967, he made his debut TV appearance on Coronation Street as a Fire Officer. In 1969, he had a brief TV cameo role as Horatio, opposite Ian Richardson's Hamlet , in a performance of the gravedigger scene as part of episode six of Sir Kenneth Clark 's Civilisation television series. [12] He made his Broadway debut as Snout in Peter Brook 's legendary [13] production of A Midsummer Night's Dream , then moved to the Royal National Theatre in the early 1980s. Over the years, Stewart took roles in many major television series without ever becoming a household name.

He appeared as Lenin in Fall of Eagles ; Sejanus in I, Claudius ; [14] Karla in Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy and Smiley's People ; Claudius in a 1980 BBC adaptation of Hamlet . He even took the romantic male lead in the BBC adaptation of Mrs Gaskell 's North and South (wearing a hairpiece). He also appeared in Sir Kenneth Clark's Civilisation: A Personal View series (Episode 6), as Horatio. He also had minor roles in several films such as King Leondegrance in John Boorman 's Excalibur (1981), [14] the character Gurney Halleck in David Lynch 's 1984 film version of Dune [14] and Dr. Armstrong in Tobe Hooper 's Lifeforce .

Star Trek: The Next Generation In 1987, after attending a Shakespeare Seminar at UCLA , Stewart went to Los Angeles to star as Captain Jean-Luc Picard in Star Trek: The Next Generation (1987–1994), for which he received a 1995 Screen Actors Guild Award nomination for "Outstanding Performance by a Male Actor in a Drama Series". From 1994 to 2002, he also portrayed Picard in the movie spin-offs Star Trek Generations (1994), Star Trek: First Contact (1996), Star Trek: Insurrection (1998), and Star Trek Nemesis (2002); and in Star Trek: Deep Space Nine 's pilot episode " Emissary ". He has also said he is very proud of his work on Star Trek: The Next Generation, for its social message and educational impact on young viewers.

On being questioned about the significance of his role compared to his distinguished Shakespearean career, Stewart has said: Template:Cquote The accolades he has received include "Sexiest Man on Television" (TV Guide, 1992), which he considered an unusual distinction considering his age and his baldness . [15] In an interview with Michael Parkinson , he expressed gratitude for Gene Roddenberry 's riposte to a reporter who said, "Surely they would have cured baldness by the 24th century," to which Roddenberry replied, "In the 24th century, they wouldn't care." [16] [17] Other works of note Edit In 1991, Stewart performed his adaptation of Charles Dickens's A Christmas Carol in which he portrayed all 40-plus characters himself, securing a nomination for that year's Drama Desk Award for Outstanding One-Person Show . [18] He later starred as Scrooge in a TV movie version of A Christmas Carol , receiving a Screen Actors Guild Award nomination for his performance.

He was also the co-producer of the show, through the company he set up for the purpose: Camm Lane Productions, a reference to his birthplace in Camm Lane, Mirfield. He staged encore performances in 1992, 1993, 1994, 1996, and then again for the benefit of survivors and victims' families in the September 11 attacks . Stewart performed the play again for a 23-day run in London's West End in December 2005. For his performances in this play, he has received the Drama Desk Award for Best Solo Performance in 1992 and the Laurence Olivier Award for Best Entertainment for Solo Performance in 1994. Shakespeare roles during this period included Prospero in William Shakespeare 's The Tempest , on Broadway in 1995, a role he would reprise in Rupert Goold 's 2006 production of The Tempest as part of the Royal Shakespeare Company 's Complete Works Festival, [19] and the title role in Shakespeare's Othello in 1997.

Originally a play about a black African entering a white society, Stewart had wanted to play the title role since the age of 14, so he (along with director Jude Kelly ), inverted the play so Othello became a white man entering a black society. He has played a great range of characters, from the flamboyantly gay Sterling in the 1995 film Jeffrey to King Henry II in The Lion in Winter , for which he received a Golden Globe Award nomination for his performance and an Emmy Award nomination for executive-producing the film. He portrayed Captain Ahab in the 1998 made-for-TV movie version of Moby Dick , receiving Emmy Award and Golden Globe Award nominations for his performance. In late 2003, during the eleventh and final season of NBC 's Frasier , Stewart appeared on the show as a gay Seattle socialite who mistakes Frasier for a potential lover. In July 2003, he appeared as himself in Series 02 (Episode 09) of Top Gear in the Star in a Reasonably-Priced Car segment. He achieved 1:50 in the Liana .

Stewart has also starred in X-Men , X2 , X-Men: The Last Stand , and X-Men Origins: Wolverine as Charles Xavier , although he is not credited for Wolverine. The films' success has resulted in another lucrative regular genre film role in a major superhero film series.
